1. When I use a car and my skill level drops too low, I am no longer using that car after zoning. Why can't this be done with ALL wear items or all items except implants {since the game was designed to allow them specifically to be overequipted}? Failing that, the reduction chart is great.
they put this change on the test server a few months back,
and literally thousands of players quit. there is a large percentage of players whos favorite feature in AO is
'overequiping', including myself.

2. While the IP reset is nice, I would say not to allow it. If you do, I will use it since I have made a few (tons actually) bad decisions from time to time. The game as in real life has a learning curve. If you are unhappy, create a new character and don't make the same mistakes again. Make new mistakes instead....<snip>...but high level characters who do not want to spend all the time building up another character will be able to "fix" all the errors they ever made. Or in the case above, wipe out their old choices they made in order to use items then and spend the points in the ones they only need now that they are high enough.
the purpose is to fix funcoms mistakes, not players mistakes.
since you didnt know about the unequip-on-zone mess above,
i'll assume you're also new enough not to know about the
endless nerfs and rulechanges that wiped out whole
character strategies and again lead to mass cancelations.
players just want the months they've invested in characters
that FC broke given back to them.
